Peter writes to mostly gentile Christians that are undergoing persecution and suffering. He reminds these Christians that they have reason to rejoice even though they are going through various trials, including: 1) Christians are made new by God; 2) Christians have a new future that includes an imperishable inheritance and heaven; and 3) Christians have the opportunity to have their faith in God deepen during trials.
